They Do More Harm to People than the GangBangers Tho.

 The white-collar criminals who undermine the social compact by cheating others.  America always have a soft spot for the white-collar-crooks, who often are kind and polite and generous, but whose actions indeed are as deadly as the ones lower down the chain carrying out dirtier deeds for pay that advance the takings of those benefitting quietly from above.

This country needs an Attitude Adjustment -- less respect for the Hunter Biden untouchable legacy boy types.... (really, it would have been that hard to deny Sam Bankman-Fried bail as a flight risk, and keep him comfortably locked up in an American cell until his trial?  You know under any system of true justice, he's coming out with a criminal sentence on the other end, no matter who is hired as legal counsel at what amount.  Surely the boy can't buy his way out of this mess he's made?)

Heads up, honest guys...  The takers always lose out in the end.

Once the golden boy of the crypto world, Mr. Bankman-Fried, 30, was arrested this month on criminal charges that included wire fraud, securities fraud, money laundering and violations of campaign finance laws. He is accused of diverting billions of dollars in customer funds to a trading platform he controlled. Two of his top former deputies pleaded guilty last week and are cooperating with federal prosecutors in building the case against him. One of them, Caroline Ellison, admitted to being involved in diverting the customer funds, telling a federal judge, “I knew that it was wrong.”

Yet in interviews across the island Mr. Bankman-Fried called home for just over a year, residents almost universally said that while the white-collar nature of his crimes was troublesome, they were hardly comparable to the gang violence that pervades some corners of the island... 

 So on the beach you're strolling. Real high rolling. Everything you have is yours and not stolen
